Chapter 105: The Young Couple Who Ended their Long Distance Relationship.
Chapter 105
That night after taking a shower, Yu Na sent Jiang Yu a message: "Tomorrow, find some time to come out and see me. The brother who was with me today said he wants to chat with you."
Jiang Yu replied after ten minutes: "Okay."
Yu Na replied: "Then tomorrow afternoon at 3pm, still at the cafe we were at today, is that okay?"
Jiang Yu: "Okay."
After making plans with Jiang Yu, Yu Na asked uncertainly: "What are you going to say to him tomorrow?"
"I'll just chat with him casually. At least I need to find out about his situation clearly. If I'm going to help him, right?"
"Oh." Yu Na nodded. "We should ask, I'm also quite confused about him now. But if you really want to help, how do you plan to help?"
"I haven't thought it through yet, let's talk more tomorrow," Xiao Chen didn't take this seriously. Instead, he was very interested in the candy. He picked up the long, soft candy on the bedside table. "How do you eat this candy?"
Qiao Rui had said that Xiao Chen was the kind of person who, even if he knew tomorrow that the sky was going to fall down, he could still put it off until tomorrow to deal with it.
And he would deal with it very well. So as long as he said, leave this to me, then she could really put her mind at ease.
Despite his carefree appearance, when it came to getting things done, he was a very reliable person.
So Yu Na was not too worried either.
She took the candy, opened the package, pulled out one piece, bit down on one end, and leaned in close to him.
Xiao Chen leaned against the bed. Seeing this, he grabbed the back of her head and bit down on the other end.
They moved closer and closer to each other.
Yu Na's eyes were like black crystals. She stared at Xiao Chen, biting one end of the candy, moving closer to him bit by bit.
Until she made him feel shy.
Xiao Chen had bitten halfway when he suddenly stopped.
Right after, came a burst of embarrassed laughter. "Wait, wait, wait-"
Yu Na: ?
Xiao Chen took a moment to recollect himself. "Sorry, your way of eating is very similar to a squirrel."
"..." Yu Na's face flushed red. "Ignoring you!"
Xiao Chen stopped laughing. "Okay, okay I'm wrong. Let's do it again."
"No more!" Still angry, Yu Na ate up all the remaining candy and didn't leave any for him.
Xiao Chen took out a few leftover lemon drops, opened them and put them in his mouth. "These taste better."
He crooked a finger at Yu Na. "Come here."
Yu Na was still upset with him. "Don't want to."
"Oh?" Taking advantage of her inattention, Xiao Chen grabbed her arm and pulled her into his embrace. "Don't want to? Do you know how I've spent the past few days?"
"How did you spend them?" Yu Na leaned against his chest.
"Thinking of you to death." Xiao Chen said. "In every way, thought of you to death."
"You!"
"Na Na."
"What?"
"We haven't exercised recently. What should we do?"
Yu Na naturally knew what he meant. "Then now...?"
Xiao Chen smiled and kissed her. The lemon flavor rushed in, sweet.
Yu Na actively responded. "I really intended...to go find you."
"Mm, missed me?"
She nodded obediently. The next second, the hand hooked around his neck involuntarily tightened.
Yu Na closed her eyes, her empty heart filled up.
Their voices and breaths blended together.
She stroked his eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth. She felt the warm breath in the crook of her neck.
Yu Na's fingertips slid downward, outlining every part of his body.
Xiao Chen's gaze was dark, like a raging fire burning in the dark of night.
He clearly felt Yu Na's icy fingertips wandering aimlessly over his body.
Hot and cold, it made him feel itchy.
"Na Na..."
Yu Na opened her eyes slightly, cupping his face. "Hmm?"
"Want to marry you..."
"Okay." Yu Na kissed his cheek, chin, and finally his mouth. "Okay..."
Not having seen each other for half a month, they were much more uninhibited than usual, all the way until dawn.
After cleaning up, they lay back in bed.
Yu Na was satisfied in body and mind. Lying in his arms, she placed her hand on his shoulder and fell asleep at ease.
Xiao Chen however was not tired. Lying in bed thinking, drowsiness only came at 4am.
...
The next afternoon, they arrived at the cafe as planned.
Not even waiting 5 minutes, Jiang Yu also rushed over.
Having his identity seen through by Yu Na, he was not as depressed and afraid as imagined. On the contrary, it was like a weight lifted off his shoulders.
The three of them were all very straightforward people, not fond of beating around the bush.
Without even simple pleasantries, they got right to the point after sitting down. "Why did you ask me to come?"
Xiao Chen: "I already know everything about you. Keep going to school. I'll cover your expenses here. But you have to promise me, study hard. I won't give you any extra money, or provide you any shortcuts. Which university you test into will depend entirely on your own ability. Also, don't get involved in adults' affairs. These are not things you can participate in. You are not their match either.
Participating in these matters does not mean you are capable. On the contrary, you will make a mess of things, like this time, not belonging anywhere. Being the top student in your grade and class - that is the most outstanding thing someone your age can do. Understand?"
Yu Na strongly agreed with his words and also asked Jiang Yu: "Did you hear that?"
Jiang Yu did not speak, silently indicating acquiescence.
...
Leaving the cafe, Yu Na held onto Xiao Chen's arm. "If his dad really gets fired, can you really arrange a job for him?"
"Why not?" Xiao Chen had one hand in his pocket, and brushed back his hair with the other. "Just an ordinary position. A matter of saying one sentence."
"Xiao Chen-" Yu Na shook his arm, acting coquettishly at him. "You're so nice. How can you be so nice?"
"Isn't it obvious I'm afraid you'll feel bad?" Xiao Chen put his arm around her shoulders. "A boyfriend's role is not only to kiss and hug you, but also to relieve your worries and solve your difficulties."
He added: "Actually I also feel pretty awful inside, so I wanted to give him a hand, otherwise we'd really have to watch this kid fall into the abyss." He said helplessly: "Running into a gambling addict dad, this kid is also damn unlucky."
Yu Na's eyes shone, full of admiration. "You're not only helping him, you're directly giving him a chance to start life over!"
"It's not that dramatic is it?" Xiao Chen said amusingly as he pinched her cheek. "I sponsor so many kids, don't you know?"
"Really? How come you never tell me about it?"
"What's there to talk about? I can't show off every time I meet someone, that would be too deliberate."
The two strolled aimlessly down the pedestrian street. Xiao Chen bought her an ice cream cone.
Yu Na took a lick, extremely delighted. "Yummy! Do you want to try it?"
Xiao Chen lowered his head and took a lick too. "Not bad."
"Xiao Chen-" Yu Na asked while eating, "Where are the students you sponsor from?"
"Curious?"
"Mm."
Xiao Chen didn't think this was anything fresh, so he hadn't brought it up.
Since Yu Na asked, he wouldn't hide it from her either. "Then one day, shall I take you to see?"
